A simplistic game with great execution. The trailer does not do the game justice as to how fun this is to play.
Please keep in mind that this game is still in the Early Access Phase. Much is to change here.

Gameplay:
You are essentially wage slaves sent to moons to steal pretty much anything you can get your hands on. The art style is "interesting" as it's not either bad nor good. The animations of the creatures, your friends, or you are relatively simplistic. The animations for you and your friends look rather goofy and the monsters do sometimes make me laugh more than they do scare me. 4 player PvE so bring a friend.

Pros: The Audio is SO well done. Rather than audio being specifically vicinity based, they don't go through walls (very well). They reverberate throughout whatever area you are in, including your friends. The gameplay loop is exciting. Each time you visit a new place, it is procedurally generated making each place feel new. Every time you meet the company quota, the standards are set much higher so you must risk more. Gameplay loop is interesting each time. Each different creature feels unique as to how they work, like being blind so you have to be quiet near one or forcing you to look at it to prevent it from killing you. The shop does not lack any items to purchase and the sales are extremely forgiving for how tough the game can be at times. Also, not risking a whole lot for $10.00 USD.

Cons: If the whole crew dies or does not extract, the quota does not restart. So should you fail to extract on the last day of your quota without reaching it, you have to watch yourself die a second time. Annoying rather than just resetting me without any of my items. The monster variety is definitely there, but is lacking. I know there are about (maybe) 15 different creatures but I "feel" like I only come across the same 4. There seems to be no point to going to flooding, thundering and foggy moons, as there is no benefit to doing so. Foggy moons are almost impossible to do as you can't even find your way to the building. Flooding planets force you to leave much earlier and can cause you to miss your quota (death). Thundering provides way to much of a risk extracting items as you will be struck by lightning and promptly corpse launched into the next area code.

Disclaimer:
I know I am rating this as if it's a released game, but as stated, this is still in Early Access. Much is still to change and I personally still find the game fun.

Conclusion:
A fun game that is well worth the money. Bring some friends and hope your microphone works. If you really feel you are risking a whole lot with your $10 doubloons, you can refund it if you are below 3 hours of playtime and have not owned it for more than 2 weeks. Odds are though, you won't want to anyway...

Don't get the game, for the game. Get the game for the mods.
If you bought the game with no DLC and don't download any mods, you might have 3-4 days of playtime before you get bored. Most of the Creator DLC aren't good by themselves but they do compliment each other. Don't pay full price and make sure you have some friends to play with because the Solo/Campaign is less than desirable. Get some mods and the desired content and you'll definitely NOT have a healthy addiction like me. Just make note of the resources this game requires to run. Overall, 6/10.

Check G 2 A or wait for a sale. It's not worth full price.
